Data relative to the prognostic and therapeutic significance of lymph node metastases in regionally confined neuroblastsoma (Evans stages 11-111) are scant. We have analyzed lymph node status in order to assess the significance of nodal involvement. Disease-free survival (minimum follow-up of 2 year
## Abstract 566 stageβII melanoma patients treated at the National Cancer Institute of Milan, Italy, were analyzed to evaluate the prognosis. Among the criteria considered, four were significantly associated with survival when considered as single factors: growth pattern, levels of invasion, the nu
## Background: Several authors have recommended adjuvant radiotherapy following resection of regional lymph node metastases in cutaneous malignant melanoma. there is, however, little evidence from controlled trials that patients benefit from this treatment. ## Objectives: To evaluate the usefulne
## BACKGROUND. Sentinel lymph node biopsy following radioisotope labeling is a recently developed, minimally invasive surgical staging procedure used in the management of primary cutaneous malignant melanoma. If histologic analysis reveals melanoma metastasis in the sentinel lymph node, completion
